The specs for power on the new 80g crack series motor make it appear to be less powerful. It says 250-300 watts, the budget motors put out well over 300 according to the specs. I'm getting 340 watts on my power meter with the 70g motor.

I want the new 80g motor but am a bit confused. 10 grams heavier and less power?

your radio is set to or has a high and low end point,commonly set to 100%,the esc is factory set for a high and low but doesn't see your radios high or low.so what should be done is once you determine that you have your throttle set for correct movement,such as low stick down,you unplug your battery and with the radio still on move your throttle stick to high,plug in your battery on your esc and wait for the double beep ,once heard move your throttle stick to low and it will beep again ,and now your esc will see your radios true high and low http://vimeo.com/47736257

Thanks lugnutz. That seems to have fixed the problem! Now waiting for the dome to open tonight!
